St. Jude Classic

WOW! Where do I begin? I am not sure what I am about to type, but here goes. Last week was overwhelming, but it was an amazing opportunity for Chris to grow professionally and with the experiences he gained from the week, I believe he is on the right track! Even though Chris did not finish as high as he would have liked, we are grateful that he made the cut and got to play with some great golfers. Many of you probably want to know what happened on Sunday. It was an eventful round, but I am proud of the way Chris fought back. Chris had played golf 10 out of the previous 11 days on Sunday, and honestly, he was just EXHAUSTED! The heat and humidity caught up with Chris on the end of the third day, and the last day. I was not even playing and I was pretty tired myself. As most of you probably saw, Chris birdied 4 out of the last 7 holes, and he chipped in on 18 for an exciting finish! I was asked several times how I was feeling throughout the round on Sunday, and yes my heart was breaking for Chris, but I knew Chris was going to take something positive from this experience and learn from it.

Most importantly, we just want to thank everyone who came out and followed Chris throughout the week and also all of you who have called, emailed, and texted us! We are overwhelmed by the number of people who have encouraged Chris throughout his journey as a golfer. We are blessed by God in so many ways. God provides in numerous ways for Chris to continue doing what he loves, and we are so gracious for this opportunity. Once again, I am so proud of the way Chris handles himself on and off the golf course. I know I may be bragging a little bit, but he is such a classy person and the whole week he had a smile on his face, which I had several people comment about how happy he was. I know I am a little partial....ok maybe I am very partial, but he truly represents this sport to the fullest, and it is so obvious how much he loves the game.

Chris will be home for the rest of this week, and then he will head out this weekend for the E-golf tour event next week. We are so excited to see what God has in store for the rest of this year! Check back soon for more updates! As for now, May God bless each of us in all that we say, think, and do! Much love from Nashville!!
